Behind The Scenes Look At South Park: The Stick of Truth
The behind-the-scenes video for South Park: The Stick of Truth that was originally shown at Comic Con last year is now available to watch on YouTube. It's primarily an interview with Matt Stone and Trey Parker as they discuss the video game development process, but there's some good in-game footage for this much anticipated title. The game has been in the works for what seems like forever, but it will finally be released come March for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. It's an RPG that tries to capture the essence of the show, which means plenty of dong and fart jokes, and a visual style that looks as "crappy" (their words) as the hit cartoon.

“Active Development” Halted on Gone Home Oculus Rift
Gone Home seems like an obvious candidate for the 3D VR set Oculus Rift, the little device that's already revolutionizing gaming for some people (or so you'd believe if you spent any time on Reddit).

It's no surprise that users with early access to an upcoming game won't be allowed to share screens, video, opinions or even details about said game ahead of its release, but, yup, Titanfall will be the same. Only made noteworthy by the fact the developers took to Twitter to confirm it, it seems some fans are desperate to share their results.

Tomb Raider Profitable “From the End of Last Year”
A lot was made of the "irresponsibility of publishers" when Square Enix announced Tomb Raider was a stinking failure (although they didn't use those words). Despite the fact it had managed to push millions and millions of units in a matter of months, it had still not been profitable. While Crystal Dynamics' latest had garnered sales most developers would never even think possible, it still managed to sit in the red.

DayZ Sold One Million in a Month
It might not be taking on the likes of Grand Theft Auto, but the standalone edition of DayZ is doing incredibly well. In only a single month it has managed to sell a million copies on Steam, something that's incredibly impressive by almost any standard. It's doing even better when you realize it's currently part of Steam's Early Access initiative and it's not even properly released yet (or, rather, not in a fully stable state).
